The conversion of 1 or 2 to 3 is generally carried out by oxidizing 2 with standard oxidizing reagents such as pyridinium chlorochromate in methylene chloride, pyridinium dichromate in DMF, oxalyl chloride/dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) in methylene chloride, Dess-Martin periodinane in chloroform, and Jones reagent in acetone, preferably Dess-Martin periodinane in chloroform at reflux. Those skilled in the art will recognize that these reagents can be used with additional, inert solvents and at temperatures ranging from -60°C to the reflux temperature of tle solvent.

The conversion of 3 to 4 is generally carried out by reacting 3 with hydroxylamine hydrochloride in the presence of a base (e.g., sodium acetate, pyridine, sodium carbonate, sodium hydroxide, potassium carbonate, and triethylamine) in water or a lower alcohol solvent at about 0°C to about 100°C Prefearably, 3 is combined with hydroxylamine hydrochloride in the presence of triethylamine in ethanol at room temperature.

The conversion of 3 to 5 is generally carried out under standard reductive amination conditions such as combining the amine and 3 in an inert solvent (e.g., halogenated (C1 -C6) alkanes and (C1 -C6)alcohols) with a suitable reducing agent (e.g., sodium borohydride, sodium cyanoborohydride, sodium triacetoxyborohydride and formic acid), optionally in the presence of a dehydrating agent (e.g., sodium sulfate, molecular sieves, and calcium sulfate), at temperatures ranging from about ambient temperature to the reflux temperature of the solvent. Preferably, the reaction is carried out by combining 3, the amine, sodium triacetoxyborohydride and sodium sulfate in 1,2-dichloroethane at ambient temperature.

As shown in Scheme 2 compound 1 or 2 can be selectively 22-N-alkylated to afford 6 by treatment with a base, such as a (C1 -C6) alkoxide, in a polar solvent, for instance dimethylformamide or dimethyl sulfoxide, followed by reaction with an appropriate alkylating agent, for example, an alkyl halide. Reaction temperatures are maintained between about 5 and about 65°C, optimally from abclut 5 to about 25°C Alternatively, the compound 1 or 2 can be reacted with anhydrous p)otassium carbonate and the alkyl halide in acetone at reflux.

Compound 7 can be prepared by treating compound 1 or 2 with diethylaminosulfurtrifluoride (DAST). This reaction is performed in AN inert solvent (e.g., methylene chloride, chloroform and dichloroethane) at low temperature of about -78° to about 0°C, preferably from about -78° to about -50°C OptiMally, the reaction is quenched at low temperature with dilute aqueous base, for example 5% sodium bicarbonate.

Compound 1 or 2 can be converted to 11-O-acyl or 11-O-sulfonyl derivatives by treatment with acylating or sulfonating agents in the presence of non-nucleophilic bases. The acylating agents include acid anhydrides, halides and isocyanates. Sulfonating agents include sulfonyl halides and anhydrides.

Solvents used in these reactions include a wide variety of aprotic polar and non-polar media, for example, acetone, chloroform, ethyl acetate, DMF, pyridine, tetrahydrofuran. Bases used include 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU), triethylamine and 4-dimethylaminopyridine. If desired, compounds 3-7 wherein R5 is R14 O may be converted to compounds 3-7 wherein R5 is R8 R9 by the method for converting 1 to 2 in Scheme 1.

The preparation of other compounds of the formula I not s;pecifically described above can be accomplished using combinations of the above reactions that will be clear to those skilled in the art in view of the foregoing disclosure.

The compounds of formula I and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts are useful as antitumor agents (including, but not limited to anticancer agents) and oncogene product inhibitors. They are useful, for example, in inhibiting the ErbB-2, src, Ick, fyn and abL oncogene products. They are also useful in inhibiting certain growth factors that play an important role in uncontrolled cell proliferation such as the EGF receptor, the NGF receptor, the PDGF receptor and the insulin reaceptor.

The ability of the active compounds to inhibit the ErbB-2 oricogene product may be determined by the following method for determining the p185 concentrations in SKBr3 cells.

SKBr3 human breast cancer cells, obtained from the ATCC, Rockville, Md. were seeded in 8 well tissue culture plates (9.5 cm2 /well, Falcon, Becton Dickenson, Lincoln Park, N.J.) at 5×105 cells/well in 2 ml McCoys medium, supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum and glutamine. Cells were allowed to attach overnight at 37°C in a 5% CO2 atmosphere.

The compounds are dissolved in DMSO and tested over a range of concentrations by addition to the medium, followed by incubation at 37°C for 6 hours. At the end of the incubation, the medium is aspirated from the well, and the cells are washed twice with 2 ml of TNK buffer (50 mM tris (hydroxymethyl)aminomethane hydrochloride, 140 mM NaCL, 3.3 mM KCL, 0.5 mM sodium orthovanadate, adjusted to pH 7.4). The cells are then lysed by addition of 250 μl boiling Lalammli sample buffer (140 mM tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane hydrochloric acid, pH 6.8, 5.7% sodium dodecyl sulfate, 29% glycerol) with shaking. The cell lysate is transferred to a tube and then placed in a boiling water bath for 5 mins. The lysates are then sonicated with a probe sonicator and stored at -70°C until analysis.

The p185 concentration of each sample may be determined by standard immunoblotting procedures essentially as described by Harlow and Lane (Antibodies: A Laboratory Manual, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, 1988). A standard portion of each sample is mixed with dithiothreitol (10% added of a 1M solution), and then a portion corresponding to ∼10 μg of protein is blotted onto a nitrocellulose membrane (BA-S, Schleicher and Schuell, Keene, New Hampshire) equilibrated with rinse buffer (10 mM Tris hydrochloric acid pH 7.4, 150 mM NaCL) by use of A dot blot apparatus (Mini-fold, Schleicher and Schuell, Keene, New Hampshire) with an underlayer of filter paper. The wells are rinsed with 200 μl of a rinse buffer, blocked by incubation with a blocking buffer (5% bovine serum albumin, 1% ovalbumin in rinse buffer), and then incubated for 4 to 12 hours with a 1:1000 dilution of NT1, an eLffinity purified rabbit polyclonal antibody raised by standard methods (Harlow and Lane, Antibodies, A Laboratorv Manual, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, 1988) against a peptide representing the C-terminal domain of human p185 (sequence, TAENPEYLGLDVPV, by the standard 1 letter amino acid code). The membrane is then rinsed twice for 10 minutes with rinse buffer and once for 10 minutes in rinse buffer with 0.05% Triton X-100, and then twice more for 10 minutes in rinse buffer. The membrane is then incubated with a 1:3000 dilution of horseradish peroxidase labeled donkey anti-rabbit antibody (Amersham, Arlington Heights, Ill.) in a rinse buffer with shaking for 20-45 minutes. The membrane is then again rinsed twice for 10 minutes in the rinse buffer, once for 10 minutes in the rinse buffer with 0.05% Triton X-100, And then twice more for 10 minutes in the rinse buffer. The p185 is then visualized with the ECL Detection Kit (Amersham, Arlington Heights, Ill.) and recorded with Hyperiilm-ECL (Amersham, Arlington Heights, Ill.). The p185 is then estimated by densitometric analysis of the film. IC50 values are determined by reference to the p185 contert of samples of cells exposed only to vehicle (DMSO) and measured as described.

The ability of the active compounds to inhibit the ErbB-2 oncogene product may be determined by following the method of Kamps et al., Oncogene, 2, 305-315 (1988) for determining the phosphorylation of p185 in SKBR3 and other ErbB-2 transformed cell lines.

The ability of the active compounds to inhibit the growth of certain human carcinoma cells may be determined by the methods of Alley et al., Cancer Research 48, 589-601 (1988) using SKBr3 and MCF7 cell lines. This refere-nce is incorporated herein in its entirety.

When the compounds of the formula I and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts are used as antiproliferative agents, such as anticancer agents, they can be administered to a mammalian subject either alone or, preferably in combination with pharmaceutically acceptable carriers or diluents in a pharmaceutical composition according to standard pharmaceutical practice. The compounds can be administered orally or parenterally. Parenteral administration includes intracenous, intramuscular, intraperitoneal, subcutaneous and topical.

In general, the active compounds are administered in dosage ranging from about 0.1 mg to about 20 mg per kg of body weight as needed (e.g., every 4 to 6 hours), preferably from about 0.1 to about 15 mg per kg of body weight; variations will necessarily occur depending upon the condition of the subject being treated and the particular compound and dosage form being administered. It is to be noted that these compounds may be administered in combination with pharmaceutically acceptable carriers by either of the routes previously indicated, and that such administration can be carried out in both single and multiple dosages.

The active compounds of the invention may be administered orally, topically, parenterally, by inhalation spray or rectally in dosage unit formulations containing conventional non-toxic pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, adjuvants and vehicles. The term parenteral as used herein includes subcutaneous injections, intravenous, intramuscular, intrasternal injection or infusion techniques.

The pharmaceutical compositions containing the active ingredient may be in a form suitable for oral use, for example, as tablets, troches, lozenges, aqueous or oily suspensions, dispersible powders or granules, emulsions, hard or soft capsules, or syrups or elixirs. Compositions intended for oral use may be prepared according to any method known to the art for the manufacture of pharmaceutical compositions and such compositions may contain one or more agents selected from the group consisting of sweetening agents, flavoring agents, coloring agents and preserving agents in order to provide pharmaceutically elegant and palatable preparations. Tablets contain the active ingredient in admixture with non-toxic pharmaceutically acceptable excipients which are suitable for the manufacture of tablets. These excipients may be, for example, inert diluents, such as calcium carbonate, sodium carbonate, lactose, calcium phosphate or sodium phosphate; granulating and disintegrating agents, for example, corn starch, or alginic acid; binding agents, for example, starch, gelatin or acacia, and lubricating agents, for example magnesium stearate, stearic acid or talc. The tablets may be uncoated or they may be coated by known techniques to delay disintegration and absorption in the gastrointestinal tract and thereby provide a sustained action over a longer period. For example, a time delay material such as glyceryl monostearate or glyceryl distearate may be employed. They may also be coated by the techniques described in, e. g., the U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,256,108; 4,166,452; and 4,265,874 to form osmotic therapeutic tablets for control release.

The hard capsules for oral use may also be presented as gelatin capsules wherein the active ingredient is mixed with an inert solid diluent, for example, calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate or kaolin, or whereas the soft capsules may be presented as gelatin capsules wherein the active ingredient is mixed with water or an oil medium, for example peanut oil, liquid paraffin, or olive oil.

Aqueous suspensions contain the active materials in admixture with excipients suitable for the manufacture of aqueous suspensions. Such excipients are suspending agents, for example, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, methiylcellulose, hydroxy-propylmethylcellulose, sodium alginate, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, gum tragacanth and gum acacia; dispersing or wetting agents may be a naturally-occurring phosphatide, for example lecithin, or condensation products of an alkylene oxide with fatty acids, for example polyoxyethylene stearate, or condensation products of ethylene oxide with long chain aliphatic alcohols, for example heptadecaethyleneoxycetanol, or condensation products of ethylene oxide with partial esters derived from fatty acids and a hexitol such as polyoxyethylene sorbitol monooleate, or condensation products of ethylene oxide with partial esters derived from fatty acids and hexitol anhydrides, for example polyethylene sorbitan monooleate. The aqueous suspensions may also contain one or more preservatives, for example ethyl, or n-propyl, p-hydroxybenzoate, one or more coloring agents, one or more flavoring agents, and one or more sweetening agents, such as sucrose or saccharin.

Oily suspensions may be formulated by suspending the active ingredient in a vegetable oil, for example arachis oil, olive oil, sesame oil or coconut oil, or in a mineral oil such as liquid paraffin. The oily suspensions may contain a thickening agent, for example beeswax, hard paraffin or cetyl alcohol. Sweetening agents such as those set forth above, and flavoring agents may be added to provide a palatable oral preparation. These compositions may be preserved by the addition of an anti-oxidant such as ascorbic acid.

Dispersible powders and granules suitable for preparation of an aqueous suspension by the addition of water provide the active ingredient in admixture with a dispersing or wetting agent, suspending agent and one or more preservatives. Suitable dispersing or wetting agents and suspending agents are exemplified by those already mentioned above. Additional excipients, for example sweetening, flavoring and coloring agents may also be present.

The pharmaceutical compositions of the invention may also be in the form of oil-in water emulsions. The oily phase may be a vegetable oil, for example, olive oil or arachis oil; a mineral oil such as liquid paraffin or mixtures of these. Suitable emulsifying agents may be naturally occurring gums, for example, gum acacia or gum tragacanth; naturally-occurring phosphatides such as example soy bean and lecithin; and esters or partial esters derived from fatty acids and hexitol anhydrides, for example, sorbitan monooleate, and condensation products of the said partial esters with ethylene oxide, for example polyoxyethylene sorbitan monooleate. The emulsions may also contain sweetening and flavoring agents.

Syrups and elixirs may be formulated with sweetening agents, for example glycerol, propylene glycol, sorbitol or sucrose. Such formulation may also contain a demulcent, a preservative and flavoring and coloring agents. The pharmaceutical compositions may be in the form of a sterile injectable aqueous or oleaginous suspension. This suspension may be formulated according to 1he known art using those suitable dispersing or wetting agents and suspending agents which have been mentioned above. The sterile injectable preparation may also be a sterile injectable solution or suspension in a non-toxic parenterally-acceptable diluent or solvent, for example as a solution in 1,3-butane diol. Among the acceptable vehicles and solvents that may be employed are water, Ringer's solution and isotonic sodium chloride solution. In addition, sterile, fixed oils are conventionally employed as a solvent or suspending medium. For this purpose any bland fixed oil may be employed including synthetic mono or diglycerides. In addition, fatty acids such as oleic acid find use in the preparation of injectables.

The active compounds of the invention may also be administered in the form of suppositories for rectal administration of the drug. These compositions can be prepared by mixing the drug with a suitable non-irritating excipient which is solid at ordinary temperatures but liquid at the rectal temperature and will therefore melt in the rectum to release the drug. Such materials include cocoa butter and polyethylene glycols.

For topical use, creams, ointments, Jellies, solutions cr suspensions, etc., containing the active compounds of the invention are employed.

For administration by inhalation, the active compounds of the invention are conveniently delivered in the form of an aerosol spray presentation from pressurized packs or a nebulizer. The preferred composition for inhalation is a powder which may be formulated as a cartridge from which the powder composition may be inhaled with the aid of a suitable device. In the case of a pressurized aerosol, the dosage unit may be determined by providing a valve to deliver a metered amount.

One or more other active compounds may be added to the formulations described above to provide formulations for combination therapy. Such compounds include cytostatic, cytotoxic and antiemetic agents conventionally used in cancer chemotherapy, such as adriamycin.

The following examples illustrate the invention but are not to be construed as limiting the same. All melting points are uncorrected. In the Examples, "BOC" refers to t-butoxycarbonyl.

PAC 17-Azetidin-1-yl-11-oximino-17-demethoxygeldanamycin

To a solution of 17-azetidin-1-y-11-keto-17-demethoxyg edanamycin (0.10 g, 0.17 mmol) in ethanol was added a solution of hydroxylamine hydrochloride (0.10 g, 1.42 mmol) and triethylamine (0.2 mL) in ethanol. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2.5 hours and thereafter the solvent was removed by rotary evaporation and the residue dissolved in CHCl3. The chloroform solution was washed with water, dried over sodium sulfate and the solvent removed by rotary evaporation. The residue was purified by column chromatography (silica gel, 15% acetone in CHCl3) to give 17-azetidino-11-oximino-17-demethoxygeldanamycin (70 mg, 68 %), as a purple powder.
